I have been looking them up on the net, I believe that Gribbing is Grubbing. Grubbing is digging up stumps and roots when clearing land.

Since you gave an answer to 'gribbing hoe', I wonder if it wasn't a 'grubbing hoe' one 'grubs' new potatoes out of the ground. 'Grubbing hoe' was what I heard it called when I was growing up, and language is always fluid. I knew millit was a grain, but I'm still not sure what it looks like or what it was used for way back when.

Stephen... Would love to have a copy of the Reed journal I love reading old notes. I work at a historical museum and here's what our historian had to say. Millit is a type of grain... they feed it to birds a lot now. There are references for a type of hoe called a Gribbing Hoe... whatever that hoe was used for probably was the gribbing. She thinks it may be some sort of grain that is gleaned from the ground with a gribbing hoe. Sproutig was grain seeds that were sprouted then made into bread... often they were millet seeds and etc. It's a forgotten practice that made "live bread". You can buy it from a health food store and there's a verse in Ezekiel that says place your seeds in a vessel, sprout them and make bread. According to our 1888 dictionary decharming was defined as to be lured away from Christianity, or lose affection for someone. However Maria did say she would need to hear exactly how the sentence was read because decharming was also a term used for placing lightning rods on a building to "decharm" it from the lightning. It was also a pennsylvania dutch term for placing hex wards on buildings or barns to keep the devil out of them.

When he was six, his family moved to a farm located immediately outside of Gallatin, Tenn. His youth was spent working on the farm and attending school, graduating from Gallatin High School in 1947. He continued his education at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Ky., graduating with a bachelor's degree in chemistry in 1951. He later earned a master's degree in chemistry from the University of Tennessee Knoxville in 1970. He began his employment in Oak Ridge as an analytical chemist at the Y-12 Plant, participating in many groundbreaking projects. He later transferred to the K-25 Gaseous Diffusion Facility, where he served as a supervisor in analytical chemistry for 10 years and enjoyed participating in a wide variety of program facilitation capacities.

During his tenure at ORNL, he was the recipient of four Environmental Protection Awards; the Harlan J.

He was also the author or co-author of several technical reports and articles in various scientific journals. Mr. Stewart enjoyed several hobbies. His long-time love for photography started in high school, where he took yearbook photos. He later enjoyed photographing family groups for holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries and served as photographer at several weddings. Through the years, his interest shifted to that of nature photography, becoming an annual competitor and winner in area contests such as the Anderson County Fair, Camera Club of Oak Ridge, Tennessee Valley Fair, Southern Appalachian Nature Photographers (SANP), several regional Kentucky park weekend events, and the Kentucky State Fair. He had recently received his first digital camera as a Father's Day gift and just begun using it over the Fourth of July weekend. From childhood, he was also an avid reader, and remained especially interested in learning about new methods in scientific instrumentation and space exploration. He was a long-standing member of First United Methodist Church in Oak Ridge, during which he served in several capacities such as on the Ushers Board, the Stewardship Committee, and the Fellowship Nights committee.

Was Rosetta born to Rebecca prior to her marriage to James? Is she, by any chance, a granddaughter - mislabeled "daughter" by the census taker or the transcriber? Was she a daughter of a relative and taken in by James and Rebecca, and considered their "daughter"? Probably lots more probabilities out there.

Despite the war, or rather because of it, Oneida was pretty much of a boom town, due to the demand for coal. The mines were going full bore, and the town's three railroads -- the Cincinnati-Southern, Tennessee and O&W -- were all going strong because of the mining. The trickle-down effect of that prosperity had a positive effect on virtually every business in and around Oneida. + Oneida's Mayors 1917 - 2007 # Lists the 19 men who have held the post of Mayor of the Town of Oneida in the 90 years since its incorporation + Jim Hamby of Brimstone: Without a Home, But Not Homeless # He was a tall, lanky man who quietly roamed the mountains of Brimstone, Emory and Coal Hill. Except for a stint working for Ritter Lumber Company, he never held a paying job. He was a drifter . . . a man without a home, but he wasn't homeless. This is the story of Jim Hamby. + In Memory of Mitchel Griffith # On January 17, 1947, Mitchel set out from Robbins riding a mule up the Brimstone Road so he could cross the Brimstone Mountains at Hamby Gap to get to Emory. Nightfall would come early on this overcast, winter day and as he passed houses up the Brimstone Road, he didn't tarry. Mitchel's family at Emory didn't know when to expect him home because when he left he said he might be gone two months. They didn't know he was on his way home. Several days passed before word spread up and down Emory and Brimstone that Mitchel was missing. o Added the Summer 2007, Vol 18, No. 4 + First Presbyterian Church of Huntsville, 1882-2007 # Rev.

A special friend, Tammy Coleman, provided her with excellent care and companionship in her final year. Her family moved from Alabama to Oak Ridge, where she was a member of one of the first classes to graduate from Oak Ridge High School. She then attended Florence State College in Florence, Ala., before moving back to Oak Ridge. She met her future husband, William, in Oak Ridge and they were later married in Bakersfield, Calif. They returned to Oak Ridge, where she worked at K-25 and Y-12. In her early years in Oak Ridge, she was active in the Oak Ridge Playhouse and loved to play Bridge. She was a longtime employee of The Music Box. She and her husband loved to travel, especially to the beaches of North Carolina. She later became interested in crafts, especially ceramics. She spent most of her time caring for her family and helping them in whatever ways possible. Severe arthritis later made it impossible for her to work on her crafts. She found new pleasure visiting with her grandchildren. They brought her much joy in her last years. She was a member of St Mary's Catholic Church in Oak Ridge. Because she donated her remains to the University of Tennessee in Memphis, there will not be a funeral. However, a memorial Mass will be celebrated at noon on Saturday, Aug. 4, 2007, in the chapel of St. Mary's Catholic Church. The family asks that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Adventa Hospice Service, 1420 Dutch Valley Drive, Suite C, Knoxville, TN 37918.
